I purchased this scope for my 7 year old’s first deer rifle. It has great optics, zeroed quickly, and it easy on the eye. When he is not using the gun, I like to take it on my hunts because it seems to give me a few extra minutes over my dated German scope. P.S. He killed his first buck in December 2016- a 140” -11 point after passing several deer with his Tekoa 3-12.

After reading reviews by top professionals who had nothing but praise, and since I had plans to go to the Harrisburg show in Feb 2017 I decided to check them out. I met with Jon Lacorte who I must say was very accommodating with his vast knowledge and professional approach. Message him and he immediately answers. Customer service is second to none. Their guarantee of performance and comparison to anything in the market place was mind boggling to say the least and pricing is unbelievable. You get so much more for your money. The features are too many to list and compared to the European market you could buy “TWO” Tract models for the price of one of theirs. I highly recommend checking them out. You won’t go wrong

I just want to start by saying these two guys and their customer service are top notch!!! When I first learned of Tract, their direct-to-consumer pricing and high end quality got my attention. I spent many hours researching all of the components that make up this scope. The products used proved to be the best in the business at affordable prices. Needless to say this is high end material! When the scope arrived, the packaging and boxing was anything but ordinary, you just knew by opening it that this was going to be good. Once mounted on my Tikka and bore sighted, a trip to the range showed it only needed 2 clicks down and one click right. This Tikka is shooting sub moa groups for well over 100 rounds now. Using the Impact Ballistics program on this site has proven deadly accurate on all of the BDC dots all the way out to 600 yards that I have shot!! It is nice that you only need your fingers to adjust all the knobs on this scope. You can even re-zero the turrets with just your fingers in just a few seconds!! Don’t forget the parallax side adjustment… you can’t get a scope of this quality, in this price range with this option, but you can now! I was also amazed at how much eye relief and clarity this scope has. Amazing!! The picture clarity and brightness far exceed my Weaver, Vortex, and Leupold. Don’t hesitate to buy this scope, as it will far exceed your expectations!!! Thanks for an awesome product!

The standard medium profile turret that comes on the scope does not lock, however, every TORIC scope features a high profile turret kit in the box with a lock and zero stop. The TEKOA features the same turret as the TORIC, but the High Profile turret kit with lock and zero stop must be purchased separately as an add on accessory.

What are the differences between the Tekoa and the Toric scopes?

The TORIC utilizes an ED lens. ED stands for Extra Low Dispersion glass. This puts all of the colors on the optical light spectrum on the same focal point. This eliminates color fringing (also known as Chromatic Aberration) and provides ultra sharp detail between the edges of contrasting colors. When ED glass is not used, there is a chance that certain colors may “bleed” together providing soft, fuzzy edges within the image as well as a “halo” like affect.
The TORIC also provides a higher level of detail resolution due to the ED glass objective lens and overall optical quality, especially in low light situations.
The TORIC also has a 5x zoom ratio while the TEKOA has a 4x zoom ratio. The TORIC has a constant 4 inch eye relief, the TEKOA has a constant 3.5 inch eye relief.
The TORIC comes with the high profile turret kit with a zero stop and lock feature. The TEKOA can accept the high profile kit, but it has to be purchased separately
The Impact BDC reticle in the TORIC features a target bracketing system and windage correction, the TEKOA features the bracketing system, but does not feature windage correction.
